Typhoon Dianmu is a big and growing storm over the southern
Philippine Sea. Late Monday afternoon, EDT, the core of this sprawling
storm is about 145 miles northwest of Yap, Micronesia. Its highest
sustained winds at 75 mph, Dianmu is drifting towards the
north-northeast at 9 mph. An overall northward drift and continued
strengthening are forecast for the next two to three days; this would
put the big storm over the open Philippine Sea.

the nearby Dianmu.
